Project 3: Drawing & Painting Full Lenth Figure (W5)

This week I decided to use acrylic paints for a change, I wasn't that keen on the first one so I gave up and went to do a second one on the same page. I will have to try and practice, I just don't seem to have the time anymore I keep meaning too but fthings get in the way. The acrylics were used watered down more like watercolour paints.

Just to let you know...

I have now caught up with uploading stuff to the website/blog, everything from now will be up to date and in order. I have 4/5 weeks left on the Figure Drawing Project and then one more project to do after that the course will then be finished. I should image that I will also be doing another year which is Level 3 as its the last year that the course will be running at college.

As I have been working with China Markers at home I decided to bring them into the Life Drawing class and see how the drawings turned out. The drawing on the left was a quick 10/15 minute drawing. After the 15 mins I moved slightly to a different place and took longer drawing the second drawing. I like the one on the left out of the two, the China Markers has to be sharp all the time as the led is about 3 mm in thickness which produces a thick mark. I also sat down with the easel this week and it wasn't as bad on the back as the week before. I have decided just to do the Thursday Life drawing class and not Fridays as well, the model has been booked up too Easter and the project is due in after the Easter break. I might try either ink or paint next week, will have to do some practice with the medium before the class though.

More work I did at home using the Virtual Pose CD Rom, I have used China Makers to do the drawings. I have used two different brands Dixon Phano and Royal Sovereign these pencils are also known as Chinagraph or Grease Pencils; they are made from hardened coloured wax that can write on many surfaces. The first drawing are only 2/3 minutes quick poses, I was trying out the different colours, I particular like the red one. On the second drawing I had a look at using more than one colour in a drawing, these were 10 minuate drawings, same pose but from a different angle also model taken from Virtual Pose 3 DVD.

The below is a piece I did at home not life drawing, the model was taken from the CD Rom Virtual Pose 3. It took rather longer than expected to complete, I'm going to have to practice with Charcoal. Apart from using it once in Week 1 of the Life Drawing I haven't used the medium by itself. The drawing I think went better then what I have produced up to now in the Life Drawing classes. I really struggle with hands and feet I find them really hard to do so I have not put any detail in them areas for now.
